A well-balanced glove for winter days that need both protection and dexterity.
Black Diamond says:
Alpine-worthy protection with a versatile design, the Glissade is our best-From snow-blown ridges to spring mountaineering missions, the Black Diamond Glissade glove packs four-season versatility into a functional and high- performance package. Built with a 100% waterproof BD.dry™ nsert, an Empel DWR on the shell, and a quick-cinching gauntlet cuff, the Glissade fends off spindrift, slush, and sleet. A fleece liner and Thinsulate® insulation keeps cold temps at bay while the reinforced goat leather palm holds up to extended all- mountain use.
Our Verdict
At 180g (Medium), the Glissade Gloves combine BD.dry waterproofing, Thinsulate insulation and a soft fleece lining, making them reliably warm without feeling overly bulky. The goat leather palm gives a confident grip and feels supple, while reinforced patches provide extra durability in high-wear areas. I found the gauntlet cuff easy to secure with one hand, and it seals neatly over jacket sleeves to keep out spindrift.. For wet snow, wind, and cold conditions well into the minus figures, these have proven dependable, versatile, and comfortable, making them a strong choice as a go-to winter glove.
